woohoo! another one of those evenings when the house is so quiet (save for the occasional chirps of my lil bro's pet quails) and i have the computer all to myself. my mom and lil bro are off to a wake, and my older bro went to his friend's house. I've been meaning to write hours ago, but my bro was hogging the computer (as usual). adik sa ragnarok eh. no wonder our net card's lifespan is a little less than a week.

got nothing to do this summer? try ice skating! its perfect for this hot, hot season. i went to megamall for my saturdaily lessons, and i fell. Twice. the first one wasn't bad, but the second one, WHAM! I fell. Hard. The cause? tripping on those toe-picks (those claw-like thingies in front of the blade). The result? Two bruises - one on my knee and another near the elbow.

oh, and since i was in megamall, and being a booklover and all, i dropped by national bookstore. and do they have a sale! sweet valley high(and jr high) books are sold for p20! other books are also sold for the same price. i purchased 3 SVH senior year books. i want to go again tomorrow and buy every one of them! (as if i have the money...hehe XD)

my mother said i should read substantial(?) books (read: classics). But she's not really opposed to my buying of sweetvalley and the like. hey, at least one of her kids read. and i happen to like sweetvalley. its something that amuses me, perfect for a bedtime read

well, till then...

HOW TO WRITE A BETTER WEBLOG
by Dennis A. Mahoney

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

THERE’S BEEN A RECENT retread of the weblogging phenomenon following a few articles at PC Mag, Time, and The Morning News. After posting my own short list of things that ought to be banned from weblogs, I realized that a list of things to be encouraged would be more useful. Some people are new to weblogging. Others want to raise the bar. In the end, everybody wants better sites, and some of these suggestions might help.

The bulk of this advice focuses on writing, which is generally at the heart of weblogs. All of them are obvious yet often ignored, to the detriment of both the readers and the writers. They’re aimed at people trying to improve the general appeal of their weblogs, but folks writing privately for friends and family might also find them useful. We’ll begin with an example.


Professional vs. Amateur
The professional writer writes:

New York is magnificent in spring.
The amateur writer writes:

I know this is a cliché nowadays, especially after 9/11, but I live in New York, which is much cleaner and safer now because of Giuliani, who really ought to be president after handling the crisis so well, and I know I’ve had some issues in the past with the mayor’s handling of the NYPD in regard to African Americans and his war against art involving sacred religious icons and feces (hello!? freedom of expression!?), but when all is said and done, New York, as maybe the best example of the ‘melting pot’ etc. etc., is a great city, especially when it starts getting warmer and people go outside more, like around March or April.
The amateur reads the professional and cannot bear the understatement. The professional reads the amateur, gives up after the word “nowadays,” and decides that he/she has been video–gamed to idiocy; the amateurs are hopeless; this new wave will be the last.

Not true. Amateurs are writing as they’ve always written. Self-consciousness, self-doubt, awkwardness, and overcompensation are perennial hallmarks of the beginning writer. The reason today’s amateurs seem more profoundly un–profound could be a simple matter of exposure.

There used to be impenetrable gatekeepers. Now, CNN roundtables, documentaries, independent films, MTV, and the web—which has no gatekeepers in most countries—are broadcasting every poorly crafted phrase and half–cooked idea imaginable. Patience, readers. All is not lost.

Great writing can’t be taught, but atrocious writing is entirely preventable.



The Rules
There are, in fact, rules—even online. Rules are not restrictions. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, rhythm, focus, syntax, and structure aren’t especially romantic terms, until you get to know them. Writers want to make sense. They want to move the reader. It ain’t never gonna happen if you got busted paragraphs, mistaken punctuation and, bad rhythm, not to mention kreative spelling: see? Clarity is key. Learn the rules. Break ’em later.

The best rules can’t be stated, but you can learn them by reading excellent writing. Develop an ear. If you know what works, you’ll start to emulate it. Conversely, it’s good to study truly horrendous language, stuff that makes you embarrassed for those responsible. You’ll find yourself mortally afraid of—and automatically avoiding—the same mistakes in your own writing. Hemingway said, “The most essential gift for a good writer is a built–in shock–proof shit-detector.” (They’re cheap if you haven’t already got one.) This is especially important for web writers, most of whom are publishing without the benefit of editors.

Declarative sentences are good. Web readers demand pith.

Bold statements are dangerous, but they won’t kill you. Timidity will—or at least your traffic. Everyone has a hazy opinion or two. The writer’s goal is clarity. Vague feelings or ideas don’t have to be vaguely written. Imagine two sites with similar descriptions of an indescribable sensation. Which would you remember:

A: “Her physical affections made his world feel somehow different and indescribably alive.”
B: “She kissed him with her tongue until the leaves on the trees, the soles of his shoes, and even his thoughts, felt like happy tongues.”
First–person point of view is not the only point of view. I should be necessary, or else avoided. This is not to condemn first person, but to suggest that it needn’t be the default choice. If first-person perfectly suits your subject matter, use it. But maybe second– or third–person is more effective. Consider your options.

The advice “write only what you know” increases the likelihood that you will know the same things forever.



Offer Something New
And are you attempting to produce quality material, or just killing time? If you’re killing time, O.K., but don’t be startled when your audience is small and no one links to you. Instead of publishing disconnected diversions (by the way, look at this, check it out, here you go, really cool), connect the dots or offer a full opinion.

Better yet, take The Nick Hornby Challenge. In High Fidelity, the narrator is described as a professional critic. He’s good at it. Music criticism is what he does. Then he starts an independent label and produces a record made by a couple of talented, shoplifting skate punks in order to, as his girlfriend says, “put something new into the world.”

The web is a tremendous hodgepodge of media. There are sites about books, sites about music, and sites about sites. Plenty of weblogs center on consuming and critiquing other people’s work, and all this recycling and redistribution has its place—a very important place that we’ll make note of later on. But why not make something new? Instead of linking to a few articles every day, write one. Instead of showcasing and discussing the latest designs, design something. You’ve got this absolutely batty opportunity of instant global publishing. Publish! The world is your oyster!



Amuse Your Readers
If you want to share an anecdote or story from your life, pretend the readers weren’t there. Because they weren’t. “You had to be there” never makes a joke funny.

Readers crave your anecdotes and stories. They really do. So give ‘em the whole megillah. Instead of, “The party was a riot!” or “I’m depressed today,” carefully explain why. Elaborate. Parties and depression are perfectly good writing subjects. The Great Gatsby, for instance, has plenty of both.

Anything makes a good subject, as long as you take your time and crystallize the details, tying them together and actually telling a story, rather than offering a simple list of facts. Do readers really want to know how miserable you are? Yes. But they’re going to want details, the precise odor of your room, why you haven’t showered in a week, or how exactly somebody broke your heart. One–liners won’t suffice.

At the same time, you don’t want to over–explain yourself. Understatement can be thunderous, or humorous, or heartbreaking. Or all three.

Have a sense of humor. Everything is funny. Being gay is funny. Being straight is funny. Being American is funny. It’s OK to laugh at things. Making light of serious situations or emotions doesn’t have to be disrespectful or hurtful. And just because something is funny doesn’t mean it has to be light. Example: “When the kidnapper called the blind woman, he told her that she’d never see her son again.” Some of the best humor is heavy.

Being a writer is funny. Don’t take yourself too seriously.

Have a thick skin. If your site gets singled out for attack by some malicious web devil, relax. You’ve gone public and you have to expect both rational and irrational criticism. Listen, people rag on Shakespeare all the time. If you’re a genuine talent, there’ll be plenty of people complimenting your efforts. If someone has a bona fide gripe with something you’ve produced, pay attention—it’s worth considering. If someone has a petty gripe or simply gets nasty, let it go. Get back to producing your site. If novelists spent their time responding to negative reviews, we’d be fresh out of novels.



Beyond Wired
One popular complaint about weblogs is that they all link to the same sites, over and over and over. Sometimes that’s true and sometimes it isn’t. But if you do find yourself linking to a Wired article that’s already been noted on ten other sites, you might consider finding something else.

Sharing great discoveries is largely why weblogging got so hot and sultry in the first place. Big, heavily funded sites weren’t acknowledging the grace notes and hidden talents of the web, so it was up to webloggers. For some webloggers, it still is. Wired doesn’t need your help as much as undiscovered sites, which may be offering equally good (or better) material.



Successful Weblogging
Producing a successful weblog, however you define that, is tough. Instead of money, fame, and Jacuzzis full of sexy nude readers, you’ll probably feel like you’re shouting in outer space. And you probably will be. In 1994, you could hook a thousand readers if you wrote about the mold underneath your refrigerator. Now, you’re lucky to get a hundred regulars, even if your work is excellent.

No matter what your audience size, you ought to write as if your readership consisted of paid subscribers whose subscriptions were perpetually about to expire. There’s no need to pander. Compel them to re–subscribe.

As the beginning of this article noted, a big audience isn’t everybody’s goal, and most of these suggestions are intended for people working to expand their readership. As for actually achieving that expansion, it’s back to the hard sell.

The days when simply having a website equated to visibility are over. The average person doesn’t even know to look for weblogs. When someone does, there’s an array of choices so endless that finding your site will largely be a stroke of luck.

Links and word of mouth can go a long way, but don’t expect a big following right off the bat. You might never get a following. More than ever, you’d better be doing this to satisfy yourself, because it could be your only reward. But if your goal is to satisfy readers, satisfying yourself is a good start.

i stumbled upon urbandictionary.com
(Urban Dictionary is a slang dictionary with your definitions. Define your world.) check it out for more witty definitions.
anyway, i decided to look up the word politics, what with the elections coming and all.
here's what i got:

POLITICS:

The system that governs the world. A system of cheating, lying, and scandal. Coming from the phrase poly, meaning many, and ticks, meaning bloodsucking parasites.

+++++++

An excuse for people to feel that they're right about something and that all who disagree are idiots who need to be either set straight or shot, without the need for knowledge or the ability to think for oneself.

"The president's an idiot."
"No, you are."
"Fuck you."
"Eat me, bitch."

+++++++

The cage which houses monkeys and snakes. See political party.

+++++++

The art of making it look like you are actually helping those that your represent in a government organization while actually creating more problems and blaming them on other politiicans so you can get re-elected.

Politics is the root of all evil.

++++++

the cause of all the worlds problems and the solution to all the worlds problems.

++++++

a trial-and-error problem in which people don't learn. (philippine politics, anyway)

that's my definition. what's yours?

test ...kakaiba rin siya...
hmmm this test results are quite true for me...^_^

You have little interest in your financial investments. You are not driven by material wealth and prefer to see where destiny takes you.

Preferring a more casual appearance, you are more comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt than in a suit. You don't like over dressing for any occasion, although you never look scruffy

Variety is the spice of life! You are comfortable in any crowd or situation, and always come away with new friends.

You are a very practical person. It's more important to you that the things you own are useful, rather than nice to look at.

Business often takes priority to social occasions. You are aggressive in business, but tend to take the backseat when it comes to your personal life.


You are very strong-willed, even bordering on stubborn. You like to take care of yourself before helping others, although you will never let people down.

didn't get to write yesterday.. >_< i guess i was too tired ... nothing much is happening today ... its mother's day and nanay isn't here ... yet. She'll be back this evening from vietnam (and carrying pasalubong, i hope

ice skating yesterday was really fun! my coach was all praises! sabi niya i manage to control my skates very well ... considering the fact that they are rental skates ^_^ tapos ang bilis ko daw matuto! i was all smiles! ^_^ (excuse my conceitedness, err, conceit for a while) ... she tested me already and i passed (of course bwahahha) ... so now i'm on level 3! oh, and another thing, my dad showed up at the rink. i was really surprised when i saw him ü he was supposed to be there for a bowling tournament or something with his friends from work, but it turned out he was in the wrong SM! so he skated with me instead ü i'm his coach for that day. after skating he enrolled me, and now i have skating lessons at 2pm every tues and thurs. i'm going to have a new coach, and we have the same palindrome name, anna. though hers was spelled with only one n. my old coach's (tara) schedule was full, so she handed
me instead to her sister (w/c is ana).

after skating my tatay treated me to dinner. we tried something new ... we ate what americans usually eat. you know, sandwiches. it was really good, and it was a way to make me eat vegetables. i'm hopeless when it comes to veggies, i just don't like them! but squeezed in a ham sandwich, it becomes bearable -and delicious- to eat.

we also dropped by national bookstore. i convinced him to buy a whole bunch of sweet valley books worth 20 each! (another plus to having my dad around). we bought 14 books, which, at 280 pesos, is equivalent to the price of 1 or 2 books.

back to the future, it's raining now, and i like the cool feeling it brings. makes me feel relaxed or something. there are also a bunch of books waiting to be read, and i think im going to grab one now.

well, till then ^_^

after a looooooooooong journalism class, i finally arrived home and came face-to-face with a dog. A dog named Tiger. SHE is my brother's new pet (and since she is a she, i suppose we should call her tigress?). anyway, i knew my brother was getting a dog today (from my mom's friend) but it went out of my mind so i was kinda surprised when i saw him. She is 3 months old and i expected her to be smalled than she is. She's cute though, and quiet. she has an innocent look, like an i'm-innocent-please-believe-me look. It's like a pleading look ü. Also, she's quite thin, and she might have worms. oh, and she already pooped, what? 8 times today ... and my older brother stepped on it, twice. hehe. now she's asleep, i think.

I watched Freaky Friday together with my family about an hour ago, but the dvd was broken about halfway through the movie so we didn't get to see the rest of it. too bad >_<. and it was fun to watch too. nakakabitin tuloy.

i also watched american idol in abc. john stevens was voted off. john looks like a weasley brother. Red-hair, freckless, tall. put him in a hogwarts robe and he'll easily pass as a weasley ^_^. and i heard jasmine trias made it to the top 3. you go girl! hehe ^_^

my comment page doesn't work. if you type a comment, it won't appear. darn, i don't know what the cause is. i think it's something in my template but i have no idea what.

nakakainis kanina.

i didn't get to go on my skating lesson in megamall. sigh. paglabas ko ng bahay kanina, di naman umuulan. kaya naisip ko na hindi naman uulan. sumakay ako ng dyip ng walang kamalay-malay na uulan. at nung nasa cubao na ko, umulan! ng malakas. hindi lang yon. sobrang trapik pa. (lagi naman eh...) maglalakad pa ko sa mrt station. ng walang dalang payong. kaya ang saya saya ng aking paglalakad. nabasa ako at...nabasa ako. kaya pagdating ko sa station, i was freaking wet. pero ok lang. matutuyo din naman ako. pero nung pumila ako para bumili ng tiket, napansin kong di naman gumagalaw yung linya. nakapagtataka. tapos may nagsabing wala daw biyahe ang mrt ngayon. mas lalong nakapagtataka. at nakakainis. dahil maleleyt na ko sa lesson ko. tapos may nagtanong kung bakit wala ang mrt. sabi nung tao dun dahil daw may nakaharang na streamer sa daanan ng mrt sa may kamuning. kaya hindi makaandar. great. tapos matatagalan pa daw. ang saya saya diba? pagkatapos ko gumastos ng 8 pesos sa pamasahe, at maglakad sa ulan, hindi pa ako makapunta sa megamall. peste. kaya tinamad na ko maghintay at nagwindow shopping nalang sa 'mall' sa may station. tapos umuwi na ko. tapos ang kwento.

pero kanina yun. ok na ko ngayon. mas magiging ok ako kung lumalabas ang mga usericons(yung pic na nasa tabi dapat ng date and title)ko. ewan ko ba, nagloloko. andaming sira nitong site ko ah...kahapon naman ayos ang usericons. sa inyo ba lumalabas ???

okay. i didn't get to blog these past few days because the phone is broken. or the conncetion is broken. well, whatever it is, its fixed now, and here i am.

::saturday::
had my first aikido lesson. my dad's in the class too. its fun, yeah. but my butt hurting after (due to falling) was definitely not fun. but anyway. it's pretty cool. ehehe parang anime. aikido is all about self defense, and using your ki. hence, the name. its not as commercialized as taekwondo, and its not competetive. its actually graceful. smooth moves. we were taught to defend ourselves in case of knife attacks, or a person holding us in the collar in a mean way and preparing to attack. you have to be quick and focused. and relaxed. so there. i'm going to continue this art. ^_^

::sunday::
laundry day. aaaaarrrrghhh.

::monday::
didn't go to journalism class today. woke up late. i kept on pressing the snooze button every time the cellphone rings. oh, and my brother's dog got sick. she has a virus or something. and now she's in the hospital. its expensive. sigh. seems my brother's not going to have new toys until christmas to pay for the bill. ha!

ubos na net card ko this past few days kaya di ako nakapagpost >_< kaya ngyon net card ng kuya ko ginagamit ko.

alam ko late na at lahat ng tao alam na na si fantasia barrino ang nagwagi sa AI. hehe ... siya ang ineexpect kong manalo, sa totoo lang ^_^ magaling talaga ang top 2 ... mas nakakamove nga lang kumanta si fantasia.

haaaay salamat last day na ng journalism class ko ngayon. pero di parin namin tapos yung newspaper. anyway, nagcelebrate kami kanina. kumain kami (ako, yung mga kaklase ko at 4 teacher) sa mcdo. yum. pero mas masarap pa rin burger ng jollibee. ü tapos non pumunta kami (mga kaklase ko) sa alimall at sm shoemart para maghanap ng farewell gift sa aming teacher. purple na pillow na maraming stars ang aming napili. ang ganda. bibili sana ako para sa sarili ko ... kung me pera lang ako.

bumalik na ang aso ng kapatid ko. nadala kasi siya sa vet. langya, ang mahal ng bayad. at ngayon, madumi nanaman ang labas namin dahil sa tae nya. di kasi trained. gusto ko nga itrain eh...kaya naghahanap ako sa net kung pano. kung merong me alam dyan, suggestions naman o ...

salamat. !

lalang. triplang.

punta kayo sa :
http://www.shes-crafty.net/you/wish.html

kahit na hindi ako naniniwala sa send this to *insert number of people here* in *insert number of days/mins/hrs here* and your wish will come true crap, nakakaaliw parin to. ok na sana kung hindi nila nilalagyan tell-a-certain-amount-of-people-about-this-game-within-number-of-days-or-your-wish-won't-come-true ka-ek-ekan. yung parang forwarded/chain letter. nakakainis yung mga ganun. hindi naman totoo yun eh...mahilig lang mangtrip ang mga gumagawa nun. kaya wag magpapaloko. hindi naman siguro nakasalalay sa isang mensahe ang takbo ng swerte o lovelife mo diba? kaya sana lang yung mga iba wag na magsend ng mga chain letters ... pero bahala kayo, time nyo rin yan.
